    Wow fantastic restaurant! My mom and I dined here and had their lunch special which was phenomenal. You get a a lot of food for a very good price of only $25. I loved everything the food was flavorful and delicious and the restaurant itself has such a beautiful ambience. You even get a dessert included with your meal and they had green tea mochi, which is my favorite. I highly recommend this place for the lunch special and the food in general because it was fantastic.

    If you're craving sushi you need to check out Mito Modern Japanese in Lake Grove at Smithhaven Mall! The options are endless. Plenty to go around. Delicious drinks. Their Pre-Fix Brunch Menu is a steal at $29--a four-course meal and a drink? Yes, please! Brunch runs Saturday and Sunday, 11AM-4PM. The vibe is Chic, cozy, and welcoming with incredible staff.

    After a not so good delivery experience with wrong food that couldn't be enjoyed and barely consumed I spoke with Alvin who deeply apologized and invited me back for a meal. I had a late lunch/early dinner today. I started with a Kani salad. It was good and had a good balance of everything. I just wish there wasn't any chopped pieces of lettuce in it. Seemed like a filler. I got the two sushi rolls I wanted originally; Joker and Mango Hawaii. I got them both with multigrain rice. I also got the Mango Hawaii without the crunch. Both rolls were very good and fresh. Each had it's own unique flavor. Service was delightful. My waitress was a doll. I don't recall her name. I had to take off a star due to an unwanted dinner guest..there was a gnat that kept flying around my table throughout the entirety of my meal. All flavors were on point though. I would return again! No delivery though! Thank you Alvin for making things right!

    I went on November 11th. I had Mito on my radar for a while. You know when a restaurant becomes your little fantasy boo? That was Mito. I wanted to go to the Babylon location for my birthday -- the menu looked cute, small hot and cold plates, very "I'm sophisticated, but still hungry." Then boom -- they shut down. Ghetto. So then I considered the Lake Grove location for my birthday, but my intuition tapped me on the shoulder like, "Babsy... no. Go somewhere else before you get upset." And like a wise woman, I listened. Fast-forward: my work bestie wants to hang out. I'm thinking, "Let's give Mito ONE chance. Happy hour might redeem themselves. HAPPY HOUR SAID "ABSOLUTELY NOT." For a restaurant at the mall at happy hour. Sure wasn't popping. Fords Garage, Cheesecake Factory, Ruth Chris. Hell even Kura Sushi was popping. 1st red flag Lake Grove only has the hot small plates menu. No cold ones. Just vibes and disappointment. But fine, we tried to stay positive. The drinks: Listen. Asian restaurants are usually heavy-handed with the liquor -- like "sip this and forget your middle name." But this? THIS tasted like someone wrung out a car battery acid over ice. I'm supposed to enjoy my first sip, not recoil like I licked a Duracell. The apps: We ordered the dim sum tasting. On the website, the picture clearly shows a tasting for TWO. We received a tasting for ONE... and got charged for the two-person version anyway. I let it slide because I'm too old to be arguing with hostesses. but please... false advertising much? Me and my bestie were sitting there sharing that sad little plate like two Victorian orphans. Unfortunately because of the audacity. I forgot to take a picture. Then we tried the spicy Korean beef jerky. Baby... that was country fried steak strips with a shy, timid little aioli that was NOT spicy and barely present. Again -- not what the website promised, but okay. I still ate it because I was hungry. Rock shrimp tempura? Fine. No complaints. A rare bright moment in a sea of culinary lies. Wagyu beef egg rolls? Looked NOTHING like the photo. Not even relatives. But they were... okay-ish. Then came the black truffle fried rice. Zero seasoning. I don't even think the salt made eye contact with that dish. The truffle must've called out sick. I had to put soy sauce on the rice for a tad bit of flavor. Very disappointing. The crab cheese wontons: Almost forgot these little disappointments. I have had WAY better crab cheese wontons from hood Chinese spots -- the ones where you gotta step over two crackheads, a pitbull, and a questionable puddle just to pick up your order. And you know what? I would GLADLY fight through that obstacle course before I ever order Mito's wontons again. And I grew up in the damn hood. Smfh! Overall? Cute idea, tragic execution. I will not be returning -- my intuition warned me, and I should've listened the 1st time.

    Food was good, and Zhen was the best waiter ever. She gave us great recommendations, and helped us every step of the way. I don't think I'll ever forget her. Thank you for taking care of us.

    Dessert. Fried Banana.

    Great ambience. Lovely restaurant. Fine dining style. Nice service. But the food is not to my taste. Nothing special. I had the Mongolian dish with chicken and my guest had the Thai basil shrimp. The chicken tasted off. I hardly ate half and didn't take it home. I didn't see or taste any basil and I love basil. The shrimp dish was just ok. Nothing special. Nice fried banana dessert though. Nice green tea served in a nice white teapot. Great waitress.

    Tried the one in lake grove. Looks nice. Used to be PF chang's but revamped. Nice ambiance. Service is good. Asked for an off the menu and they did it. A little pricey though.

    Great happy hour deals! Food was great and the service too. The only downside was that they didn't have real tv at the bar. They had tv screens, but one tv was on repeat on sample foods and the other had football on but the type where you see X's and O's. I ordered a margarita and spring rolls. The spring rolls were hot and delicious. Hubby tried the dim sum tasting and it was very much enjoyed. We went with rolls to finish off the night.

    I like the food and it has a great deal, but I found bones in 3 of my rolls. Disappointed.

    I don't like leaving bad reviews but I don't want to be untruthful. The restaurant was spacious and beautiful but almost empty at 6pm on a Friday. Mongolian Beef and sushi were mediocre at best. We sent back a spicy tuna roll because of a very odd taste. (And we eat a lot of sushi) They did apologize and take it off the bill. The restrooms were not so clean and didn't have a hanger for my purse. We probably won't be going back.

    We really enjoyed this place! We has the sale with a flavorful balsamic dressing, dim sum shrimp, general Tso chicken, chicken fried rice and sushi. Everything was delicious and fairly priced. I loved the fact that they had a yummy malbec from Argentina on the menu! The only item I will pass on is the chocolate cake and ice cream. It just wasn't as good as the other items. However, I cannot wait to return. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and the staff were friendly and attentive.

    This place have the Best dumplings around. Thin skin, juicy, filling taste fresh, and the dumplings…read moreare fried very nicely (mini crunchy skirt). Closest thing to Flushing dumplings to you can get around here. I had tried a lot of dumplings around this neighborhood and they are either too doughy, thick skinned, not juicy, or felt like over marinated or super old filling. Other food are decent too.

    At around 7:00 PM on May 31, 2026, my roommate and I came to Tao's Bao for dinner. My roommate was…read moretreating me. Since my roommate does not speak Chinese, we communicated entirely in English throughout the visit, and the staff at the front counter also spoke to us in English. I have been to this restaurant many times before and have usually left an 18% tip. This was my roommate's first visit. After we finished our meal, my roommate paid the bill but did not add a tip. After noticing that no tip had been left, the staff member at the front counter came directly to our table and asked my roommate, "Cash tips?" My roommate seemed surprised and responded, "No."This interaction already made us feel very uncomfortable and pressured. In addition, both my roommate and I felt that the service had not been particularly good. After that, the staff member shouted toward the kitchen in Chinese: "These two are freeloading! They didn't leave a tip!" Since my roommate does not understand Chinese, he did not know what was being said. However, I understood the comment and found it highly inappropriate, unprofessional, and disrespectful toward customers. 2026 年 5 月 31 号晚上7点左右,我跟室友来 Tao\'s Bao 吃饭,室友请客。室友不会说中文,我们全程都用英文沟通的,前台也跟我们用英语。我已经来了很多次,以前都给 18% 小费。室友第一次来,饭毕,付了款没有给小费。前台看到没给小费,直接跑到桌子前面问我室友 cash tips? 我室友愣了一下,说 No。这个举动已经让我们感觉非常不舒服,感到压力,而且我跟室友都觉得服务也不怎么好。然后,这个前台就用中文冲后厨大喊:"这俩人吃独食!不给小费!"
